Senator ". L. James.

Iowa county has never been more
efficiently ard faithfully represented
in the State senate than during the
term of Hon. Norman L. James. To
him mainly are we indebted for our
Senatorial district remaining undls-
turbed much to the satisfaction aud
advantage Of the county. Without
his active and effective influence it
is not probable that this county
would have retained two members
of Assembly, with population of
about 1900, while other counties
with about equal population have
but one. The fact that he was able
to accomplish this is conclusive
evidence that Senator James was
one Of the most influential members
of the legislature. To legislation
generally, none were more attentive.
He was always at his post of duty
and awake to what was going on.
He was acknowledged by all to be
one of the most industrious, effect
i've working members Of the Senate.
For prompmess and zeal in the re-
spending to all matters IN which
his constituents were directly inter
ested, he is TO be especially com
mended. On all occasions he was
quick and cheerful in responding to
calls made upon him for any service
by the people Of Iowa county, No
one could have been more 70. We
make these acknowledgements with
more pleasure because, when Senator
James was nominated there were
not . few people in Iowa county
who seriously doubted the wisdom
Of the convention. Now, we but
exptess the general opinion, in say
ing that no mistake was made when
n. l.. James was nominated and
elected Senator for this district.

Congressman Frank Hurd, who is AN
intimate friend OF Roscoe Conkling, saws
that Dir. Conkling makes more mcney than
any lawyer in New York. He recently got
$50, 600 for his services In one case. In

owed as security for the late A. B. John,

Crossing Niagara on II Bicycle.

A Buffalo special says: Alphonso King
of New York this afternoon successfully
accomplished the feat of crossing the
Niagara torrent below tho cataract on O
water bicycle. One trip was made from
the American to Canadian shore in four
and half minutes, and, contrary to OK
pectation, the rapids did not capsize the
novel craft. The apparatus consisted of
two long zinc cylinders for buoyancy,
and the propelling power was bicycle
wheel with small paddles attached.
When mounted on the machine tho
tubes sark SO low in the water that King
appeared to bo riding regular wheel
across the gorge. He woro high hat, o
Prince Albert coat and rubber leggings,
the latter being the only protection from
the water. A boat load of reporters,
rowed by Tom Conroy, the noted guide,
went along to rescue King in case he
capsized. The current carried him
dlagonally in the direction of the Whirl-
pool Rapids, but he had sufficient con-
troll of the bicycle to succeed in the per-
formance. Several thousand persons,
including Prince Devanwongso and the
other Siamese visitors, saw the feat and
cheercd when it WAS accomplished DIR.
John A. Lanigan, on behalf of Buffalo
admirers, presented King with O costly
gold medal.

Powderiy StigmatIAed ns Tool of Capitalists.

The Coopcrs' Union of Cincinnati has
issued statement Of its reasons for seccd-
ing from the knights of Labor as follows:
l. because it seems to us clear and
proven beyond doubt that Powdcrly is a
traitor to the working men; that he is
$anctlmonious and untrue as well as tool
in The hands Of the capitalists.
:. Because all the good the order DOS
seascs is only on the paper of tho consttu
tion, but never could be found in reality.
1t is opinion that it is the fault of the
officers, who always paralyZcd the enforce
mcnt of the best parts Of the constitution.
,, 3 Because all the strikes, even when
they were won already, were lost at the last
moment by Powdcrly and the District Mas
ter Workmcn.
-, d. Because although the members pay
inc year around continually, they never
lind any assistance when they need it.
D. BcCause the temperance PRINCIPLES of
the order Knights Of Labor arc in our oDin
ion' unworthy of a free worlilap man, and
because they are antagonistc to our in:nr

Passenger Train Jumps che Tack and
Crashes Through Threc.story Brick Bulld-
ing--E Engineer Killed and Twelve Persons
IpJured,
WASHINGTON, August fS.-Train No. 4
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, com
ing from the West, due here at g. 20 A. NJ,
came tEnndering into the city over Metro
politan Branch today, and at curve near
~ mile away from the Y began blowing
down brakes" For some reason inc
brakes were not put down. The air brakes
1t was stated, did not work, and the en-
gineer began blowing his distress whistle
for brakemen to put on the regular brakes.
Either the brakemcn did not heed the sig
nal or it was not given in time to be OF use.
The train, flying at a frighttnl rate, came
laundering down towards the sharp curve
at the Y. On the south side of the Y, in a
little corner made by the intersection of the
tracks, was located railroad signal tower,
q brick structure three stories hi,h, where
railroad men are employed to regulate sig
nails and switches at the Y. When the
train turned the sharp curve of the y with
fearful headway, the cars behind the engine
flew the track and smashed into the signal
tower, and in an instant there was wreck
which for confusion has seldom been
equaled in railroad annals. The engine
through dirt and mud distance of $50
feet and rolled over. There it lay, giving
forth It's steam and hot water in great Jets.
Near the engine lay Hamilton Brosins, the
engineer, crushed and dying, and his fire
man with several bones broken. Behind
the engine was a scene of panic and CON
fusion. One car was crushed and nearly
buried under the tracks and the timbers of
the demolished building. Two sleepers
and one passenger coach remained on tho
track. Thcmail, express and baggage cars
were rolled over and their sides crushed in.
a tilc alarm was sounded, which brought
the fire department and police to the scene
Ambulances were hurriedly sent for, and q
corps of physicians came, summoned from
every direction. Many injured passengers
were removed and taken to ncighborng
houses. In this way eighteen or twenty
people were got out of the wreck. Some
of them were only slightly injured, while
others suffered with bones broken and
bodies badly bruised and cut. In the up
per floor is an observatory, where VIM.
Baxter, a railroad signal man, was at work
On the ground floor Joseph Haley, ayOung
man employed by the railroad company
was engaged cleaning lamps. Baxter real
izing the impending danger in time, gave 9
shout to Haley and lcapcd from the tower
TO the ground, breaking his arm and was
badly shaken up. Haley below however
was buried in the ruins Of The house Whcr
he was disintcrrCd it was found that tim
bcrs had fallen so as to protect him from
the tons Of brick and mortar above him
lie was badly frightened and bruised anC
blinded by lime and plaster.

Clergymcn's Sore Tbroats,

An English surgeon claims to have
discovered the cause of clergymen's sore
tthroats. No other speakers are affected
IN this way, and ho has como to the con
clusion that the malady ia induced by
speaking down to congregation from
an elevated pulpit, thereby depressing
tho vocal organs and causing Irritation
and congeGtion. If clergymen would
hold the head erect and speak up they
would never have throat trouble, pnd
even if already suffering to some ex&ent
they may cure themselves by speaking
In right position. Thore arc bad habits
OF phonation, breathing, etc., which a
good teacher can easily correct, but tho
bending forward Of the head and hang
ing over tho sermon while reading it is
worst Of all, and any man can correct
himself in it,--Liying Church.
